Decembers come. and with her brought
A world In whliest marble wrought;
The trees and fence aud all the posts
Stand moiionless and white as ghosts,
And all the paths We used 10 know
Are hidden in the drifts Of snow.
December brings the longest night
And cheats the day of hall rs light,
No bird song breaks the perfect hush;
No meadow-brook with liquid grsh
Runs telling tales IN babblng rlymo
OF liberty and summertime,
but frozen In It's icy cell
Awaits the sun to break the spell
Breathe once upon the window-glass
And see the mimic mlsts that pass,
Fantastic shapes that go aud come
Forever silyery aud dumb
December Santa Claus shall bring
or happy children happy king,
Who with his sleigh and reindeer Stops
At all good peoples chimney-tops'
Then let the holly red be hung,
And all the sweetest carols sung,
While we with joy remember theln,-
The iourneyers 10 Bethlehem.
Who followed trusting from alar
The guidance OF that happy star
Which markcd'the spot where Christ wa
born
Long wears ago one Christmas morn

In a paper to the Liverpool Astronom-
zeal society, Mr.. w. II. S. Monck sug-
gested lately that the puzzling climatic
variations recorded by the rocks may
nave been produced by the near approach
to the earth of intensely hot stars. This
may nave been due to the travelling of
the star itself, or to the motion of the
solar system in space. Moving with the
earth's own rate, a celestial body would
traverse in so, 600, 600 years the distance
separating our globe from the most re-
mote of the 20, 900, 600 stars visible in
the most powerful telescopes, making it
possible that, with suitable proper mo-
tons, any or every star known may have
visited the solar system during the period
commonly assumed by biologists to have
elapsed since the first dawn of life. In
tensely hot stars may have added mate
rally to the earth's heat without coming
sufficiently nea to greatly derange the
planetary orbits. -Arkansaw Traveller.

1t appears from recently published statistics
that there are seventy-one districts in India
where social impurity is licensed and regu-
lated as a business" or trade And it is an
interesting fact that in all these districts
Christianity is very weak. Thus in Bombay,
n city OF GA ,405 inhabitants, only 4 per cent.
Of the natives nre even protesting Christians.
In Berares, where Christian missionaries
have worked so long and faithfully, out of a
population of lis, 1888 there are less than $50
of the native citizens counted as Christians.
In Jullunder the Presbyterians of the country
have built n fine school, and nave done faith
full missionary work. And yet there are only
seventy-seven Christians in Jullunder, out of
a population OF 5O,O67. Peshawur has a popu-
lntion of 5S,555, of whom only seventeen are
Christians.
"These figures" says The Christian Com
monwealth, describe the condition of things
in seats of uncleanliness. Is it not obvious
that what was too foul and hellish for per-
petuation in England is destructive of all the
moral edifice which we nave been seeking to
build up in British Indiai We seek to purge
India of its idolatry with wonderful success
in many districts, But in others the Chris
tian government is surrounding our missiona-
ries with sinks of bestial sensuality, and their
civil officers and military men on furlough or
retirement come home and sneer at the results

A short distance from the church,
booths are erected, from which proceeds
the music of harps and guitars. In them
the visitors to Guadalupe may crafty
any fondness they may have for the great
national vice, gambling. The strange,
harsh cries of those who nave charge of
the games, as they call out the details of
stakes to be offered, and the result of
each deal and play, are positively repul-
sive. The group of players in each booth
comprises men, women, and even chill
dren, of every class, in about the proper
ton in which the several classes exist in
the country. There are small stakes and
large ones, and the variety of games by
which the appeal to chance is made seems
endless. The players chat and laugh as
they play, and though they watch the
games very closely, and if their money
lasts, play sometimes all night long, there
is zone of that feverish or excited look
about them which is noticeable in the
faces of gamblers elsewhere. 1t is evil
dent that the Mexicans gamble entirely
for the sport there is in gambling. They
win or lose with the same happy look,
the same gay laugh.-American Maya

Mr.. W.. H. Murray, an Englishman,
has been the means of introducing into
China a system of writing the Chinese
characters in raised print. When we
consider the completely and multitudes
10000 of Chinese characters, and re-
member that the smallest of China's
eighteen provinces is equal in extent to
England land England has 40, 900 blind,
the vastness of this philanthropic work
will be apparent. Mr.. Murray noted the
actual sounds used in speaking Chinese,
and succeeded in reducing these to 400,
each being represented by a different ar
rangement of dots. He tried his first ex-
pertinent upon a blind beggar taken from
the streets, and in six weeks taught the
boy to read, and even to write a little.
The fame of this experiment soon spread,
inc pupils crowded to be taught. The
system was extended to include music.
and to adapt itself to the various dialects

printed in eight different sets of charac-
tiers TO be understood all through China.

SPEAKING of public opinion in relation
to the presidential office President Cleve-
land in his speech at Clinton, N. Y. said:
but this should not be simulated by
the mad clamor of disappointed interests,
which without regard for the general
good or an allowance for the exercise of
official judgment would degrade the office
by forcing a compliance with selfish de-
mands. If your president should not be
of the people and one Of your fellow
citizens he would be utterly unfit for the
position; incapable of understanding the
peoples wants, and careless Of their de-
sires. That he is one of the people, i'm
plies that he is subject to human irailty
and error, but he should be permitted to
claim but little federation for mistakes.
The generosity of his fellow citizens alone
decree how far good intention should ex-
cuse his shortcomings.
Watch well, then, this his office, the
most precious position of American citi-
zenship; demand for it most complete de-
vOtion on the part of him to whose GUS
tody it may be instructed, and protect it
not less violently from unworthy assaults
from without. Thus will you perform a
sacred duty to yourselves and to those
who may follow you in the enjoyment of
the grandest free institutions that heaven
has ever ~vouchsated to man.

HENRY W~ATTERsoN, the accomplished
editor Of the Louisville Courier. Journal
is enjoying a few days of recreation in
New York. In the course of an inter.
view he speaks in an i~ncisivc way that is
entertaining. He says:
The battle flag incident and President
Cleveland's letter of declination to the
mayor of st. Louis, coming, as they do
now, a year before the nomination, Just
show the luck of that man. If the flag
episode had happened six weeks. before
the election in 1883, the bloody shirters
might have used it to defeat Mr.. Cleve-
land. Why, that chap that sits in the
chair OF the president at the white house,
is the very aDotheosis of common sense.
be is practical and crafty, and anything
that m within the orbit of his under
standing he strikes to the core and never
makes a mistake. What he does under
stand he understands thoroughly and hits
the nail on the head. His letter declining
to go TO st, Louis is one that hits the
nail on the head, and, following closely
upon the flag episode, can but have a
beneficial effect

There are few who endure bodily troubles
without complaint. Did you ever meet
among the heroes or heroines of your ac-
quaintance-if any such there have been
one with a yellowish cast circumference
and that jaundiced aspect generally, which
the most Impractical eye recognizes as the
product Of a disordered liver, who did not
complain, and peevishly too, of the sore
ness of the recalcitrant organ, of pains
beneath the right shoulder blade, of dys-
peptic symptoms, constipation and head
ache? OF course you never did, and of
course the individual was not using Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, or he would not
so have looked-so have complained. To
purify the blood when contaminated with
bile, and conduct the secretion into its
proper channel, to re-establish regularity
of the bowels, Danish bilious headache
and remove impediments to complete di-
gestion, nothing can approach in efficacy
this peerless Alternative and tonic. Malarial
complaints, always involving the liver and
kidney and bladder inactivity, are rem
edied by it. 1t is a capital appetizer.

The fiat has gone forth, and Jake
Sharp, the convicted king of the bOOdlers,
is doomed to four years Imprisonment at
hard labor. The s%tupendous extent of
the bribery engineered by Sharp attracted
to his case widespread attention. The
revelations made in the trial laid bare a
depth of official corruption that has not
been equaled since the palmy days of
Boss Tweed. A powerful effort was
made to convict Sharp, but once this end
was gained, a maudlin sense OF pity began
to grow up in various quarters. 1t even
crept into the newspapers. The New
York Herald, which had rabidly fought
for a convection, aiterward switched
around and urged that Sharp be leniently
dealt with. 1t was stated in excavation
that Sharp was an old man, verging close
upon seventy, and hat physically he was
a wreck. Pressure of this kind, however,
proved of no avail with Judge Barrett.
1t is a sad thing to think hat an
old man must enter his grave through the
portals Of a prison, but it is fortunate for
the public at large that the moral lesson
of the sentence was not lost sight of.
The country abounds with men of pro-
c%livities similar to those so d~aringly dis
played by Mr.. Sharp, and on them the
sentence may have a repressive influence
when they realize that ever the king of
the boodlers, with his fortune Of a million
dollars back of him, must still don the
convict's striped suit like the poorest out
cast criminal that desrades the face of the
earth.
The lesson is a severe one, but it will
have a s%alutary influence.
